![]() ![]() From the looks of things, both Gemma and Jax certainly did, and they’ll likely have some serious demons to wrestle with now that he’s gone. It’s a testament to Perlman’s performance though that, in the end, it was hard not to feel at least a little sorry for Clay. We all knew it was coming, hell, Sutter said as much before the season even started, but when Clay took his bullet to the throat, it still felt like a punch to the stomach. And finally, the mayhem score for this episode was high for one reason and one reason only: Clay Morrow. Tara now has a pretty difficult decision to face, and it will be interesting to see which direction she goes. But an emotional wrench is thrown into Tara’s plan when, after secretly saving the bullet she pulls out of Bobby, Jax tells her that he understands why she did what she did. ![]() Tara asks if a bullet from the shooting pulled from a Son would be enough proof, and the D.A. Roosevelt, "The deal I made didn’t include a stack of dead bodies." She knows the Sons are responsible and she goes for the jugular, once again offering Tara her deal, this time in exchange for proof that it was SAMCRO who sprung Clay. It’s been a great run you psychotic son of a bitch.Īll of Jax’s plans are now in motion, Galen and Clay are dead, Connor is set to deliver the news to the Irish, hopefully selling them on turning the gun business over to August Marks, and the D.A. The son has officially become the father. ![]() As he drops to the ground in a spray of arterial blood, Jax unloads four more shots in his chest. With Gemma watching through the window, Jax raises his gun and, somewhat sadistically, shoots Clay in the throat. walk him into the office where Galen’s body lies. But Clay knows his day of reckoning is at hand, and he faces it stoically, as a man ready to pay the price for his sins. Every good story needs a villain, and Perlman’s Clay Morrow has been one of the best. It’s been difficult watching Ron Perlman sit on the sidelines for so much of the season. Clay asks what it is and Jax asks him, "How would you do it?" Clay knows all too well what his move would be, a phony beef with Galen and a bullet in his head. With them all there, Jax tells Clay that there’s one more part of the plan. After taking out the Irish, Gemma arrives at the airport with Nero and Tara, who’s been asked to help save Bobby. Jax tells him, "We had a vote."Ĭlay’s day of reckoning finally arrives: 10.0Īs Tara says afterward when she, Gemma, and Nero are on their way to the hospital, "Clay Morrow should have been dead a long time ago." It’s a moment that has been building up practically since the first episode of the series, an event demanded by the Shakespearian nature of the show: The son must eventually kill the father. The Sons take out the other two Irish as well, and Clay realizes that plans have changed. About to shake his hand for a job well down, Galen meets the business end of Jax’s gun, getting a nice little hole blown in his head for good measure. Which is exactly when Sutter likes to throw us a meaty curve ball. ![]() Other than a wounded Bobby, everything looks as if it is going to plan. SAMCRO delivers Clay to the Irish at the airstrip. Galen O’Shea meets his Catholic Maker: 9.0 We’re officially in the endgame now folks and, as the saying goes, things are going to get a lot worse before they get.well, probably just worse. The episode opens with Jax signing the deal he brokered with the D.A., which is about thing only thing that goes as expected, creator Kurt Sutter once again juking left when everyone expects right. This episode is titled, "Aon Rud Personta," which in Gaelic roughly means "Nothing Personal." It’s somewhat ironic, though, since nearly everything that goes down is deeply personal. All of the machinations of the previous ten episodes are beginning to flower and, as is always the case, hell is on the horizon. We’ve officially hit the final stretch of the Sons of Anarchy season, a stretch that we like to call the Xanax phase. Creator (and GQ guest blogger) Kurt Sutter’s mind can go to some pretty dark places, so each episode we’ll rate those dark places on a scale of 1 to 10: 1 being nothing more unsettling than a romp with someone’s old lady in the clubhouse, and 10 being as deeply disturbing as Tig’s daughter getting roasted alive in a fiery pit of corpses. With season 6 of SOA finally upon us, we’re quantitatively rating the gruesome, the bewildering, and the truly shocking of everyone’s favorite Harley-riding psychopaths each week, all season long. ![]()
